SKI JUMPING 12 JANUARY

INTERVIEWS

RYOYU KOBAYASHI 

I like the jump and the hill very much. This kind of hill is different from the ones I’m used to: the inrun is made of ice instead of ceramic, that’s the reason why I had to struggle a bit at the beginning but I still managed to do well today. My secret to do my best is just always enjoying my sport. That is also one reason behind my successes. If I have to mention something to work on for the tomorrow’s competition, it would be the landing; I wish not to fall again.

I think my level is quite good, and I am really happy about my work. It has been a good day, and I will have good memories of this place. I have to focus on the next competitions now, where I will improve the jumps: I still have some reserves on my jumps, and  I can work on it the next days. I am positive about tomorrow, because the jump is basically the same of today. It is a pleasure to me to be here. Kobayashi is a formidable opponent, we still can’t figure out what his secret is, we can just hope for him to make a mistake tomorrow.

Personally I am satisfied, because I did everything that I could to do my best ski jump and I still have this feeling I can do much more, so I will try to do my best tomorrow and in the next events. It is really difficult to explain the feelings during the jump, but I can say that ski jumping makes me feel totally free. There is only myself, the ski and air pressure, so I feel like i am free. I hope that tomorrow’s jump will be like this one. I know I will try to focus on myself, on my own work and this is what I will do. I am always positive for ski jumping. Anyway Kobayashi is for sure an outstanding athlete for this discipline, he manages to keep his cool not only physically but also mentally, which is an incredible talent for a twenty-one-year-old man.
